Implementation and evaluation of an integrated mentorship-preceptorship model in undergraduate clinical nursing education.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHigh-quality clinical education is critical for preparing competent nursing graduates. Traditional preceptorship alone may not sufficiently address learners' needs, while mentorship provides additional psychosocial and professional support. This study implemented and evaluated an integrated Mentorship-Preceptorship Model to enhance clinical readiness and student satisfaction among undergraduate nursing students.
methodsA quasi-experimental one-group pre-post study was conducted with undergraduate nursing students during their clinical rotation. The model combined structured mentorship (guidance, role modeling, reflective support) with preceptorship (direct clinical supervision and skills coaching). Clinical readiness was measured before and after the intervention using a validated clinical competency assessment tool. Student satisfaction with clinical education was assessed through a standardized satisfaction questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze outcomes.
resultsImplementation of the integrated model improved students' clinical readiness scores compared with baseline. Participants reported higher confidence in performing clinical procedures, greater clarity in role expectations, and improved integration of theory into practice. Satisfaction scores increased across domains including instructor support, feedback quality, and overall learning experience. Students described the combined approach as more supportive and effective than previous clinical learning experiences.
conclusionThe integrated Mentorship-Preceptorship Model enhanced clinical preparation and satisfaction among undergraduate nursing students. This structured and supportive educational approach may strengthen clinical learning outcomes and represents a feasible strategy for improving the quality of undergraduate nursing education.
